New Rockfords In Demand

Desire in the home market for Rockford’s new line of amplifiers has been insane. Like hot cakes, they are in demand! Rockford have had to ration the product they can supply the European and overseas market, so the only new Rockford Fosgate Punch amplifiers available in the UK for the time being are to be the P500-2, P400-4 and P300-1.
Rockford USA is getting huge USA dealer orders for the new Punch amplifiers and had to triple production to try to satisfy them. Rockford’s UK distributor said, ‘We hope that as soon as the demand is met, we will also be able to have them in the UK.’

Model P300-1

With a continuous RMS power rating of 300 watts, the P300-1 is perfect for use as a dedicated subwoofer or centre channel amplifier.
Regardless if you are driving multiple speakers or just one, the hefty 2 Ohm capability will deliver the right amount of PUNCH. Now, thanks to its small chassis design, it will also fit where traditional amplifiers cannot.
The P300-1 amplifier’s recommended retail price is £ 219.99

Model P500-2

Boasting a continuous power rating of 500 watts, The P500-2 is an excellent way to PUNCH up your sound system without monopolising your entire boot. That way you have more room for subs. With its massive output stage, this amplifier is best suited for driving a pair of 8 Ohm Single Voice Coil subwoofers, or four 2 Ohm Dual Voice Coil subwoofers
Recommend retail price for the P500-2 is £319.99

Model P400-4

The continuous power output of 400 watts of the P400-4 is perfect for 4-way front stage/rear fill or 3-way/front stage/subwoofer systems. Simply drop a pair of component speakers on the front channels and subs on the rear, and BOOM – you got the PUNCH. With a flexible design, the P400-4 is an excellent amplifier choice for virtually any vehicle.
Recommended retail price for the P400-4 is £ 329.99

 

In reality, all the power ratings above are about 30% lower than the amplifiers actually test and measure at. As all Rockford amplifiers are deliberately under-quoted. This means that you get a lot more watts for your money. At a time when lesser makers in the USA are going bust, Rockford is becoming stronger the ever. Rockford UK is following the same trend. They put it down to the brand’s superb sound quality, power output (and handling) reliability factor and street credibility.
